About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...

I am running around this week trying to get a petition going to save a little forest, from the "CHOP" in our area. Yep, my name is Andrea and I have been a tree hugger for the past five years! No time for a wedding post, if I get a chance later this week I will try and upload an album for the fustrated brides. For now these pics from the park will do.   I love this one of Jake, life is just wonderful with not a worry in the world. Note to self, I must get a different layout for my blog as these small pics do not do justice!

I received a call from my brother last week Thursday, enquiring what plans I had for the following Friday. . . because. . . he and Ursula were getting married.

 

Well, the original courthouse ceremony kinda transformed itself into a very cosy affair under the trees at the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens.

 

Whipped together in just a week, but, really in essence, what it was all about was the sacred exchanging of vows in the presence of those closest to you in your life.

 

I, or should I say they, were very, very lucky to have Dror join us. I am not really sure if he was there as a guest or second-shooter, but I did not hear the end of it from the newlyweds, that wicked sense of humour and great images...it does not get better! (You can see what he snapped here www.droreyal.co.za/blog/ ) Congrats Mike and Ursula - here is a peak, as I know you're both yearning to see!

Stunning pics Andrea! Cant believe it turned out to be such a stunning day - suppose the pictures in the courthouse would've been a slight different color :-)

Can't wait to see all of them!
Regards
Ursula's bestest workfriend :-)

No dashing firemen this year. Instead, I had T-Rex and other prehistoric dino creatures as Oliver's party theme. . . plus, a major dose of unexpected (and unwelcome) DRAMA. With a little under 2 hours prior to Oliver's sugar-filled festivities, Jake decided it would be a grand idea to fracture his arm. On the other hand, and had it been Liam, the fracture would've been an "in-action" exploit - probably, as a result of climbing to the top of the jumping castle and tumbling over. But, NO, not Jake.   He threw a tantrum, flung himself on the floor and cracked his arm - only Jake!!     Not very happy, but lapping up the attention he received.

I can not believe, for a moment, I'm the mother of a 4-year-old! It seems as though he was a mere baby just a few months ago. How quickly time goes - I really do need to savour every minute! Naturally, we visited Oliver's school today to witness the sheer excitement of being the BIRTHDAY BOY, including the time-honoured blowing out of the candles. Mom supplied re-lightable candles, which thoroughly amused Oliver's class mates, plus he relished (of course) being the very epicentre of attention. Happy Birthday Oliver!! Mmmwwwwaaah! Liam also presided over the event-filled activities. . . and assists (nay, oversees) Oliver's entire school with the blowing-out ritual.
